The best you can do (that I know of) to make it "safer" is maybe SafariBlock - although it only blocks ads: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/19202 In regards to the VM, I'd turn off any file sharing, Internet sharing (unless needed) and usability applications that integrate the VM into the host operating system.

I will use your suggestions to make that VM safer. Do you have any other suggestions that I could use to make my VM more safe? Also, the plug ins you're talking about are for Mozilla, any suggestions for Safari (Mac)? Thanks again, -Matt Great article,
